That's a mouthful of a phrase, I know. What is "transgenerational discipleship?"Example: Meet Kelsey (left), and Amanda (right), pictured here at Eric Treuil's house in Lafayette, LA.
Amanda grew up in a pastor's home, and discovered the path of her ministry calling while at the University of Northern Colorado in Chi Alpha. Amanda was a Campus Missionary in Training (CMiT) with Jen and I in Lafayatte, LA during the 2002-03 school year. She's still a close friend; that was a wild, challenging...GREAT year!
Now, Amanda is the associate director with Eric Treuil at the UL-Lafayette Chi Alpha group where she develops student leaders, helps them lead small groups on campus, and helps facilitate the expanded CMiT program at UL, known as the Diversity Project.
Kelsey came to know Jesus as a freshman at UL-Lafayatte through the loving outreach of young ladies that Amanda was mentoring. Not long after that, Kelsey was reaching out to new freshmen at UL, as Amanda now mentored her.
This fall, Kelsey joins Jen and I at Tulane as a CMiT, herself. We have the wonderful opportunity of training her in the practics of campus ministry, and continuing to mentor her as she grows in the character of Christ.
Starting this weekend, Kelsey will begin reaching out to freshman girls at Tulane.
That's transgenerational discipleship, and that's what we're about here at Chi Alpha New Orleans.
